Detailed explanation-1: -The Hundred Years’ War was a long struggle between England and France over succession to the French throne. It lasted from 1337 to 1453, so it might more accurately be called the “116 Years’ War.” The war starts off with several stunning successes on Britain’s part, and the English forces dominate France for decades.
Detailed explanation-2: -The English had effectively won the war; Henry V was at the height of his power and was set to be crowned king of both England and France. In addition, he would solidify the English claim to France with his new marriage and the birth of a new son (also named Henry).
Detailed explanation-3: -The name the Hundred Years’ War has been used by historians since the beginning of the nineteenth century to describe the long conflict that pitted the kings and kingdoms of France and England against each other from 1337 to 1453.
